AN IMPORTANT MAN.
Merchant Traueler l


 He wore a crush-custard summer suit and carried a life-size full-meas- ure cane by the middle as he ambled down the aisle and Topped himself into a front seat in Washington thea tre, where all the ballet girls could gaze and admire to their hearts con tent. He showed his feet nonchalantlv through the orchestra rails and looked on with supreme indifference while the drummer moved his instruments out of the way. After the people be- hind him had waited patiently for some moments for him to remove his hat, they were rewarded by vision of two tiny, shell-like ears peeping coyly above his four-story collar. Everybody in his neighborhood seemed interested in him. He was an interesting parsonage. He never for once forgot his dignity so far as to show by the slightest sign that he was aware that he breathed the same air with vulgar mortals. His father was acquainted with a congressman. and by that means had secured the young man $1, POO clerkship, and he knew the respect which his station in life commanded. When the orchestra started to guide the dancers in their gyrations, the patrician youth assisted the bass-drummer in his arduous task by pounding on the floor with his cane in time to the music.
 A plain, ordinary gentleman, who, in addition to being plain and ordi- nary, was possessed of nerves, stood the tap, tap, tap of the cane until the close of the act, and then, leaning over, inquired of the youth in tones that could be heard by all in the vi- cinity:
 "Excuse me, sir, but would like to ask you question:"
 "Ask me a question? What is it?"
 "How much would you be willing to take for this theatre?"
 The young man thought and thought, but the people round about saw it immediately.

Wilson Barrett maintains that the standard of dramatic art in this coun- try is not as high as it is in England. Bosh! An "Uncle Toms Cabin" com- pany, with pair of bloodhounds, a jackass, two Topsys and two LaVye, Marks, should go to England and teach the Britishers what dramatic art is. They would no doubt be quite as successful as the British blonde bur- lesquers and kickers who have come over here to give exhibitions of da- matic art.-No,vtStocn Herald.

Now for an idea OF q Hindoo won1-

room almost destitute. The floor and
walls are of clay, with no ornamental
ton of any sort and the least furniture
possible. Every morning she has to
pray-not for herself, as she is taught
that she has no soul-but for her hus-
band, for rain and general blessings.
Then she spends two Or three hours
preparing the breakfast. She doesn't
eat with her husband, but, perhaps,
fans him at his request During the
daytime she either sleeps, gossips with
the other women, or sometimes a read
err reads to them from the lives of the
gods. These stories are unfit for human
ears, they are vile from beginning to
end. The children and women are
taught them. At night they prepare
their husbands meal in the same man
ner They are not protected against
the weather and dampness, nor are
they properly fed and clothed. The
rich live the same as the poor. 1t sick

and are taken to the stable and left

lect The first day that Hindoo boy
abuses his mother is festive occasion

unhappiness. She is especially cursed
by the gods. As the husband dies,
half dozen barber's wives rush upon
her and tear the jewelry from her ears
and nose. Behind the funeral cortege
she follows, surrounded by those
friends, who throw her into the water.
If she browns they say she was good

DEMOCRATIC GROWTH
Why the PeopIs Will BE Averse 70
Political Change Next Year.

Why the People Will BE Averse e
Political Change Next Year.
1t is a curious illustration of Amer
lean politics and at the same time a
significant tribute to the conservative
spirit of the Democracy that the most
potent argument three years ago in
favor of keeping the Republican party
in power is becoming one of the most
potent arguments in favor OF the con-
tinued ascendancy of its antagonist.
When the Republican organs and lead
ers had exhausted every other reason
for making Mr.: Blaine President in
1884, they crowned the discussion with
this supreme consideration: that it
would be unwise and hazardous to
make a change. Republicanism was
safe; it had been in power for six
auadrennial terms. and the country
knew what it was. The Democratic
party had been out of power so long
that it had forgotten how to govern;
it was raw, clumsy, ignorant, mex
perienced and somewhat revolution
ary-and it would be unsafe to intrust
the finances, the revenues, the army
and navy and the Indian and public
lands bureaus to such a party. Let
the Government remain in the hands
of those who have administered it SO
well.
Who would have thought that in less
than three years this same considera-
| ton would become bulwark of the
party it was employed against and be
chief reason for keeping the
party that employed it out Of
power! And yet the Republican or
gans themselves are recognizing the

SPANS NATIONAL DISH.
The Various Ingredients Entering Into tn
CONGESTION of Cocido.

Composition of Cocido-
I stayed at an excellent French hotel
in Madrid, but got tired of the French
table d'hote. WANTED to eat as the
Spaniards eat. One evening I per-
suaded Spanish gen tleman to take
me to a real Spanish middle-class res
taurant and let me taste the fare OF the
country. The Spanish are frugal
and moderate race. Two or three
dishes and dessert-that is their dim
ner. There is no long bill of fare as
among the French. The restaurant
was a quiet room on the ground floor
of understanding house. There
was one or two families and several
single gentlemen dining. The women
wore handkerchiefs on their heads
and shawls over their shoulders. Peo-
pie dropped in, had soup and dish
of meat, an orange, some nuts. and
went away satisfied. Our bill of fare
was more extravagant, but it created a
sensation. The landlord and all the
extraordinary Englishmen who had
such gigantic appetites. Here is the
exact menu: We began with olives
and picked pimentos and guindellas
and chilis. These were the kors de
d'euvres. Then cigarettes. Then we
had an ordinary thin soup, followed by
cigarettes; and then came the great
National dish, called cocido. If you
have a good dish of cocido pronounced
cotbido, because of the Spanish
lisp given to the before GER
tain vowels) you have good deal for
your dinner. It is savory stew OF
chicken, potatoes, sauce, bacon and
white beans, all boiled up with pieces
of beef. In most Spanish families this
is the everyday dish. OF course the
poorer classes have to leave out some
of the ingredients, except on festive
occasions. In Andalusia the peasant:
